53 53 40 40 27 27....
1. 53 + 53 = 106, & divide by 2 = 53,
2.53 - 13 = 40,
3.40 + 40 = 80 & divided by 2 = 40,
4. 40 - 13 = 27,
5.27 + 27 = 54 & divided by 2 = 27,
6.27 - 13 = 14.
1. 53 + 53 = 106, & divide by 2 = 53,
2.53 - 13 = 40,
3.40 + 40 = 80 & divided by 2 = 40,
4. 40 - 13 = 27,
5.27 + 27 = 54 & divided by 2 = 27,

53, 53 = 0 difference
53, 40 = 13
40, 40 = 0
40, 27 = 13
27, 27 = 0
27, 14 = 13
So, the answer is 14.
53, 40 = 13
40, 40 = 0
40, 27 = 13
27, 27 = 0
27, 14 = 13
So, the answer is 14.
